The time has come to re spool my reels has anyone got any recommendations for a decent all purpose line to use? Also what sort of breaking strain would be used? All help appreciated ??

I note you said reels plural. I notice quite a few on here use Daiwa in bulk spools. It works out quite economical that way.
Kept in the dark in a cool dry place the spools will last for very many fill ups.

Less than £9 a spool in the usual 4,6,8,10,12 strains. Its quite robust.

Look it up on the web.

Ps meant to say DAIWA SENSOR

Out of curiosity Lofty, where are you intending to fish and for what?

Another vote for daiwa sensor. I use 6lb for waggler and light lead work. 8lb for general feeder fishing. 12lb for carp/barbel/method fishing. Strong, cheap, reliable, cheap, abrasion-resistant and cheap!

Only other reel mainline i use is drennan float fish in 4lb for trotting - sensor does tend to sink which makes it difficult to trot with.

In lighter strains I usually use Drennan float fish or Specimen plus.

In heavier strains I am a convert to NGT Camou. It is cheap, lasts a long time and is very thin for its breaking strain.
